Halo Wars 2 Blitz Beta Release Date Revealed

343 Industries has announced the release date for when you can play the blitz beta for Halo Wars 2. You’ll be able to play the beta a month before the game comes out.

As announced via the Halo Waypoint blog, players will be able to participate in the latest Halo Wars 2 multiplayer beta on January 20th, 2017. This beta will be available to play on both Windows 10 PC and Xbox One.

A short description on YouTube reads: “Introducing Blitz, an all-new mode for Halo Wars 2 where tactical combat meets card-based strategy. Experience it on Xbox One and Windows 10 with the free Blitz Multiplayer Beta January 20th – 30th”

The actual game itself releases on February 21st for both Xbox One and Windows 10. Unlike other Halo video games, this new game is a real-time strategy (RTS) title. Are you excited to play the beta coming out later this month? Check out the trailer below for more info.
